When the constables walked in from the back door, but Old Li and Mrs. Liu did not see any trace of Li Laifu, their tensed hearts slightly relaxed.Since they couldn"t see their son, this meant that their son had escaped. Thus, they felt relieved.
Not seeing Li Laifu"s figure, Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling looked at each other, their eyes sunk for a moment, but their faces did not reveal any of their thoughts.
"We"ve already investigated this area, but we haven"t found the criminal. I wonder where he escaped to?" The yamen runner apologetically told Liu Zhimo that the prisoner had escaped right under their noses, causing them to feel extremely unhappy.
Liu Zhimo laughed and said to the constables, "It"s been hard on you all, brothers." He paused for a moment, then asked doubtfully: "I wonder if this prisoner escaped and left a notice for everyone?"
Li Laifu thought that just by escaping, the world would be at peace? He wanted beauty.
"Sure …"
As soon as the bailiff finished his sentence, Mrs. Liu shouted at the top of his lungs, "What? What did you say? You … You actually want to arrest my son? " If others could recognize their son just by looking at the portrait on the wanted list, then how could their son survive?
Poison, it was really too vicious. He still wouldn"t let her son off even like this.
Liu Zhimo glanced at Mrs. Liu indifferently, and said with the corner of his mouth raised, "Aunt, I believe you are not deaf, can you understand what we are saying?"
"You … Why are you so vicious? Ah? Why are you so vicious? My son didn"t do anything against the world, so why can"t you let him go? " Just the little fish that poisoned Li Qingling"s pond was enough to bring her son into the prison. Their hearts were truly ruthless!
Mrs. Liu pointed at Liu Zhimo with one hand, and cursed loudly in extreme anger. If it wasn"t for Old Li tightly grabbing onto her hand, she would have pounced on him long ago.
If Liu Zhimo lost face, how was he going to take the exam?
Li Qingling pinched Liu Zhimo"s hand, signalling for him to be quiet, and let her deal with Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was a woman, if Liu Zhimo wanted to bicker with a woman, it would affect him, so he could only let her step out.
Liu Zhimo understood what Li Qingling meant. Holding Li Qingling"s hand, he increased the strength in his body, indicating that he understood.
Li Qingling looked at Mrs. Liu with a cold face, and laughed out loud: "Just put these words in your heart, why did you say it out loud? Aren"t you making a fool out of me? The things your son did, he still said it wasn"t a crime. Did he really kill someone? "Huh?" Mrs. Liu had really refreshed her shamelessness again and again, she was truly convinced.
Should she be glad that although her father was a bit more honest, he had a good heart?
People like Li Laifu were truly taught badly by Mrs. Liu.
Having a mother like Mrs. Liu, she felt that she had been unfortunate for three lives for Li Laifu.
Hearing Li Qingling"s words, Mrs. Liu spouted at him fiercely, "Pah! You don"t even know how to kill my son, how can my son have a heart as black as yours? It"s so dark that it"s flowing with pus. "
His son should have also poisoned all of Li Qingling"s chicken farm"s chickens. At that time, let"s see if she still dared to be so arrogant.
At this time, Mrs. Liu was completely unaware of how serious this matter was, and actually dared to have such a malicious thought.
Li Qingling then coldly looked at Mrs. Liu, his gaze shifting towards the constables, and said: "Brothers, I would like to ask, what kind of punishment will there be for the person who let the prisoner go?" If she did not teach Mrs. Liu a lesson, she might not be able to rest peacefully during this period.
The best case scenario would be for Mrs. Liu to enter the prison for two days and scare her, causing her to not dare to act so arrogantly again.
Some people were like this. Without teaching her a lesson, she would never be able to remember.
The bailiff said that those who let the prisoners go were like accomplices and wanted to go to jail.
After saying that, Mrs. Liu"s legs softened. She did not want to go to the dungeon, she really did not want to go to the prison, that place sounded very scary, so how could she come out after going in?
"Old man, what should we do? Were they really going to be put in jail? I don"t want to go, I really don"t want to.
Mrs. Liu looked at Old Li in a daze, telling him to quickly think of a way to remove the two of them.
Old Li was also afraid in his heart. If he was about to be sent to prison, how could he not be afraid?
He swallowed his saliva with difficulty and looked at the bailiff as he smiled ingratiatingly, "This … That can"t be right? We didn"t do anything bad? How did you capture us and put us in the dungeon? " This was different from what he had expected. He thought that since his son had escaped, they would be fine. He didn"t expect that they would actually enter the prison.
This was equivalent to helping his son suffer!
After having spent so much time in the prison, would he still be able to come out safe and sound?
He didn"t dare to think about it. He didn"t even dare to think about it.
"What do you mean you didn"t do anything bad? Letting the prisoners go is the biggest thing." One of the constables looked at Old Li in disdain and snorted, "If you guys obediently call the criminals out, you won"t be held accountable."
As the saying goes, each debt has its own owner. As long as the original prisoner was caught, others would not be involved.
Hearing that, Old Li"s heart madly jumped. He didn"t want to go into the prison and also didn"t want his son to go in.
"I... I don"t know where my son is. "Really, I won"t lie to you guys." Old Li shook his head bitterly, then looked towards Li Qingling with a pleading gaze: "Xiao Ling, no matter what, we are all relatives, can"t you give us a break?"
As long as Li Qingling agreed and did not pursue their responsibility, they would be fine. He had seen this clearly.
He looked at Li Qingling nervously, not knowing if she would let them go and let them go.
"Li Daye, I"ve said it a few times, we don"t have any connections, you really don"t need to talk about relatives here." Li Qingling patiently repeated himself, "If I knew it would come to this, why would I have done what I did before?" If they had properly taught Li Laifu, then this wouldn"t have happened.
Your son doesn"t teach his father!
Seeing Li Qingling not moving at all, Old Li secretly resented him in his heart, but he could not show it on his face. He continued to beg Li Qingling to forgive them.
He even held Mrs. Liu"s hand, asking her to beg for Li Qingling"s help.
Mrs. Liu was unable to do so. She could only follow Old Li"s intentions and lower his head to Li Qingling, "Xiao Ling, this is all my fault. Can you forgive me?" After escaping this time, Li Qingling would slowly settle the score.
Looking at the obviously unwilling Mrs. Liu, Li Qingling scoffed, "Fine, I"ll forgive you then." Once she said those words, Old Li and Mrs. Liu were in a state of disbelief. They raised their heads and looked at Li Qingling, as if they were certain that he was telling the truth.
Li Qingling coldly pursed his lips, raised his eyes and looked at the bailiff, "Fellow bailiffs, in order to not delay you guys, please take the accomplice away first. As for the culprit, you can slowly catch him."
"You … Li Qingling, didn"t you already say you will forgive us? What do you mean, what do you mean? " Mrs. Liu experienced the feeling of going from heaven to h.e.l.l in an instant. She did not expect that after Li Qingling said he would forgive her, he would be captured by the yamen runners.
She was simply playing with her.
Li Qingling innocently shrugged and said very helplessly, "Aunt, did you have a imagination? When did I say I would let you off? " She was not such a saint, how could she let them off so easily? "Aunty, you have to remember this, you can"t do anything to get the forgiveness of others."
If it really was like this, then there would be many people in this world who would kill and set fire to others.
"s.l.u.t, Li Qingling you s.l.u.t, I curse you, you will die a miserable death, a miserable death." Mrs. Liu stared at Li Qingling sinisterly, he hated that he could not rush up and eat Li Qingling"s flesh and blood, "I will wait and see, you will definitely die a horrible death."
"I don"t think you can wait anymore. After all, you will die before me." Li Qingling replied indifferently, not taking Mrs. Liu"s words to heart at all.
She was not a person who lived and grew up, so she did not care about these things that happened to ghosts and G.o.ds, thus, when she heard Mrs. Liu"s curses, she did not care too much.
Seeing Liu Zhimo was different, his face was so dark that ink was almost coming out from it. How could a person that he had placed on top of his heart be able to bear being cursed at like that?
"Sir constables, can I trouble you to shut up this aunt before you take her away?"
Of course the constables were willing to give Liu Zhi Mo this face, they used a smelly towel and stuffed Mrs. Liu"s mouth shut.
Seeing that Old Li wanted to speak, they took the opportunity to cover his mouth as well.
Seeing that, Li Qingling pursed his lips and laughed, the world finally quieted down, there was no need to hear any more ear-piercing words.
The yamen runners brought Old Li and Mrs. Liu back to the horse carriage and returned to the yamen.
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo also had to follow them to the yamen. In this case, they had to go through the County Magistrate.
The villagers of Ox-Head Village followed along majestically, they also wanted to see the outcome of Old Li and Mrs. Liu.
This could be considered a big matter for the Ox-Head Village, they had to be the witnesses.
As soon as they saw the yamen, the yamen runners began shouting with their mighty voices.
That imposing voice, forget about Old Li and Mrs. Liu, even the people from Ox-Head Village were shocked.
This yamen was really too terrifying.
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo, on the other hand, stood in the middle of the yamen, waiting for the arrival of the County Magistrate.
After a moment, County Magistrate who was dressed in his official uniform walked over with a serious look on his face, and slapped the table. Seeing that everyone had quieted down, he asked loudly, for who is in the hall, and for what purpose?
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo looked at each other, and Liu Zhimo walked forward and calmly replied to the County Magistrate.
